  • a propellant e.g. liquefied petroleum gas, dimethyl ether, nitrogen gas, liquefied carbon dioxide gas, flon 11, flon 12.
  • the liquid formulation can be also utilized by penetrating into e.g. paper or cloth by capillary action and exposing a wide area to odor drifting in an air.
  • paper and cloth used for the method include filter paper and non-woven cloth.
  • Examples of the solid carrier for preparing the solid formulations include mineral solids such as silicate salts, kaolin, activated carbon, zeolite, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, talc, silica gel and calcium carbonate; plant solids such as wood chip, paper, peat moss and coffee bean shell; and synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride.
  • the shape of the solid carrier can be granules or powders.
  • the solid formulations can be prepared by spraying, or by penetrating the above-described liquid formulation to the solid carrier and then optionally vaporizing the liquid carrier.
  • the solid formulation is usually utilized by distributing or spreading on the place where bad smell generates, or surroundings.
